The Bay City basketball standout is taking his game to Turkey, where he plans to join the professional Turkey Basketball League.

Devendorf said late Tuesday he was en route to the Middle East, where he will become part of the Selcuk Universities Konya basketball team which competes in Turkey's TB2L league.

Selcuk is currently fourth in the Group B standings at 10-8, led by the league-leading scorer Brian Boddicker, the lone American on an otherwise all-Turkish roster.

Devendorf, the all-time leading scorer at Bay City Central who went on to shine at Syracuse University, led the Wellington Saints to the National Basketball League of New Zealand championship last spring then moved on to the Melbourne Tigers of the National Basketball League of Australia.

He was released by the Tigers nearly three weeks ago, despite ranking second on the team with a 14.6 scoring average. But his down time was short and now he is heading to his third league — and third country — in the past year.
